Dammit!!!

Well, we thought we figured out what the issue was with Final Draft6 so I could type and save even if I had to go thru a long process after each save (the program shuts itself down automatically after saving and has to be re installed every single time). I did not think that was so bad, since it's a good program and it formats for me, which would take me a long time to learn.

I was up all morning and finally managed to crank out 2 scenes. That may not seem like much, but I assure you it is. And guess what? It saved the first time, when I had half a page and stopped to reseach something online. But when it came time to resave at 4 pages it lost everything.

I thought about perhaps printing to a PDF before saving, but then I couldn't edit anything, and beleive me, this thing will be edited countless times.

So I'm terribly bummed and wanted to share all of that with you.
And now I have nothing to do for an hour while I wait to call the stupid MARVIN computer again.

If I can remember what I wrote later, the beginning is pretty good.

EDIT: I managed to get thru to MARVIN a few minutes ago. In 7-10 days I'll have a little bit of money. Thank heavens for small favors.
